[bayimports]

@Rapido interesting I thought it might be higher and yes @MN5 those ones already wiped from memory

[dogmeat]

I'm pretty sure NZ hasn't played a test in Oz since 1985

[Donsteppa]

There has been a one off test there since 1985. In Hobart in 2011.

hahah. We have to cop it.

Reality is they are better than we were. If we'd played them a year before, we would have really run them close - but with Smith and others back to prove a point, we just struggled to make the key breakthrough. Wags (and others) induced edges and spoons that just didn't go to hand in the first test ... and then they got away, we faced the pink ball, Ferguson got injured and the wheels fell off.

The mental toughness I see in the team just wasn't there against Aus. it's really weird - we have a mental block or something.

Yeah I agree that mental block v Australia is really evident.
It is talked about in Australian cricket circles how NZ are beaten before they play.

We need to over come that to beat Australia consistently,it is a reverse of the Trans Ta$man Rugby rivalry
Frustrating as a kiwi.

[No Quarter]

Gezz way to spark some PTSD @nzzp, that one it still tough to swallow

[MN5]

In Rugby terms in that series we were Ireland and they were the All Blacks ( in a World Cup quarter final )
